It seems that this extremely long argument list was motivated by the
differences between the two original call sites. Now that you have
mocked up a full eventsel (with USR, OS, INT, IN_TX, and IN_TXCP bits)
for the fixed counters, why not pass the entire eventsel as the third
argument and drop all of the rest? Then, pmc_reprogram_counter() can
extract/check the bits of interest.

This change seems unrelated.
